Fez
Polytron
Corporation's forever-in-development yet fascinating 2D/3D platformer
is on schedule for a new, slightly later "early 2012" release date
according to founder Phil Fish's Twitter feed.
The
game has been making the rounds for years. Fish had
previously suggested a soft 2011 release date, but that apparently
isn't going to happen.
Fez is a unique platformer that plays with
your perceptions of two-dimensional and three-dimensional space after
drawing you in with a cutesy art style reminiscent of the 16-bit
classics of yore. We're as interested in it as anybody, but the game has
to just come out at this point. Which it will, probably, but only on
Xbox Live Arcade – Fish blasphemously stated on Twitter that "it's a console game. for consoles. PCs are for spreadsheets."
Check out the "long screenshot" below for the latest visuals from Fez's development.
